Portia Ann (Schiller) Perl, 91, died peacefully on December 24, 2020 surrounded by her loving family.
She was born June 3, 1929 in Mansfield, Ohio to the late Dr. Stanley Schiller and Marie (Bergman) Schiller. The pig-tailed tomboy of Parkwood Boulevard thoroughly enjoyed growing up in Mansfield. She would frequently ride her bicycle all over town, swim in the summer and ice skate in the winter at North Lake Park, play any sport with a ball and enjoyed being with her neighborhood friends from dawn to dusk. She gained a love for outdoor adventures and traveling at a young age. One of her fondest memories was going with her father to the 1939 Worlds Fair in New York. She also loved learning how to cook from her mother, Marie.
